I'm about to reformat my laptop. Typically, I use /boot, /home, and / partitions. /home and / I usually use xfs, and /boot gets good ole ext3. I'm curious as to what other people are using out there and why.

It's a reach back as to why, but I ran into some limitations with ext2 with the application I was working with. At the moment I am only recalling part of the reason and it was (I think but please correct me if I am wrong here) it had to do with file size limits and allowing them to be configured to greater than a gig (or was it two gig). Anyway, going to ext3 allowed us to solve the problem, as some of the log records we were keeping in our app would get very large and therefore we always had to be sure we had ext3 installed (btw. This was on a work related computer system).
